Bitch. Is that better? Is bitch better? Is bitch better? Is bitch better? Hey, bitches. Welcome to a very special

bonus episode of bitch is better. I'm your host Raven and this is a very special episode because I'm

here to talk about Love Island. Okay. If you know me or you follow me, then you know how much I love

the Casa Morecru. So just relax for a couple of weeks until the time comes. None of this is important.

I just always wonder about it. And like, I'm sure they're excited to be cast on the show either way,

but obviously coming in towards the beginning is ideal. Another thing I want to address is the

whole stepping forward thing. I think that they should make stepping forward a

requirement. Okay. Like sit them down and say, if you want to stay here, you're going to have to step forward at
